About this listen

Today, we’re venturing into the alien landscapes of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Bethesda’s groundbreaking 2002 RPG that redefined the open-world genre. We start by exploring the game's origins, tracing how a canceled tournament fighter evolved into a fully immersive fantasy epic—and how Bethesda’s ambitions were scaled down from Daggerfall’s massive scope to focus on a handcrafted world. Then, we dive into Morrowind’s development, from engine changes and a six-person team to the creation of the Elder Scrolls Construction Set, which empowered both developers and modders alike. Finally, we reflect on Morrowind’s legacy, its expansions, and its enduring influence on action RPGs and the Elder Scrolls franchise. So, grab your Silt Strider pass and join us as we travel to Vvardenfell on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane!
